Democrats if you do these things in 2016 you'll win it all back

All the Dems have to do is go back to reaching out to women and minorities; and Matthew's point on supporting STEM is 100% correct.

I don't think the Democrats (and some Pubs) will stop supporting CORE.

And a word to racialists, right and left: you are still going to get it in the mouth.

Yes but the future isn't and never has been fetal stem cells, adult stem cells have shown the promise.

He is talking about Science, Technology, Electronics/English, Math. I hope he is.

It's Science, Technology, Engineering, Math

I think sometimes the M is medicine though, not sure.

Jake how exactly is it good for this nation to be anti-male and anti-white?? Sounds counter productive? Shouldn't we promote a more unity and agreeable approach?

Also I think being 22nd in the world for math & science is a good enough reason to rethink common core. Why don't you?

Liberals are hardly anti male or anti white. At least 100% of the liberals I know are not (and I know a great many). Yours is a position harbored in ignorance.

As for STEM...I agree.

One thing I would like to get your opinion on is this; when Ford wanted to increase sales, they bought a bunch of Honda Accords and reverse engineered it and voila...the Taurus was born. It brought them back from the brink of bankruptcy. I understand the Soviets did the same with our rockets and bombs during the cold war and space race. I would imagine that Shick/Gilette did the same as did almost every other set of competitors. You find out what works and copy it.

Why are we not putting our kids through the same physical schedule of school year as the leading nations are doing? It seems to be the smartest thing to do...find out what works and copy it.

Our nation is not "anti-male and anti-white", and white males in America are as responsible as anyone else for our poor standing in math and science in the world. Rethinking common core, for better or worse, has nothing to do with your feelings about us white males.

The fact is that our voting power has dropped more than 40 percent in the last 60 years, from 54% of the national vote to about 32% s. Do not be surprised that we are not as influential a group as we once were despite that we have more sixty percent of the wealth: we are doing fine

Dems will go with Repubs are icky women hating, racist homophobes who want to commit genocide in the ME

Exactly. Might as well go with the truth.
